The re-elected president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, said this Sunday (4) that he had already had conversations with his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), but stated that the issue of public security, central to his administration, was never addressed by the PT member.
When asked about how El Salvador deals with security, in contrast to the challenges faced by Brazil in the area, Bukele stated that, due to the lack of this topic with Lula, “I imagine he has his own way of approaching and dealing with security.” situation”.
Bukele highlighted that his country shows that “all problems have a solution when there is political will” and highlighted the rapid confrontation of the security crisis, even in a small nation with limited resources. He suggested that El Salvador's approach in the area of public security may also be necessary in Brazil, highlighting the importance of political will to resolve problems, especially those related to crime.
Elected in 2019, Bukele has led an intense campaign against crime in El Salvador, especially fighting gangs. His government declared and extended the state of emergency, implemented mass incarceration operations, which generated criticism from international organizations, such as Amnesty International, which allege systematic violations of human rights.
Bukele stated that El Salvador shows that it is possible to make positive changes with good will and highlighted that the lack of resolution of problems, especially in relation to crime, reflects the absence of political will. He acknowledged that attacking crime has consequences, but highlighted that his government's approach could inspire other administrations around the world.
In closing, Bukele expressed doubts about the exact replication of El Salvador's approach in other countries, but emphasized that the example of his nation, even though it is small and with limited resources, can be applied anywhere, including Brazil.
